In the class I show you how you the basics of making macrame feathers and also how to make them into a beautiful wall hanging. They're very easy to make and once you get the hang of it you'll be able to incorporate them into your wall hangings and even make macrame keyring and earrings from them. You’ll be learning how to make 2 different macrame knots in this class which are very basic macrame knots and are used in so many different projects including pretty much all of my classes. You'll learn how to create a larks head knot which is the knot that attaches the cord to the dowel and a square knot (a different method to make the knot compared to what I normally teach) which is the knot that creates the feathers.

I have given this class a beginner level because I really think anyone with any skill set is able to create this feather wall hanging whether you have a basic knowledge of macrame or have only just started your learning journey. I really hope you will enjoy this class and love the piece that you create!

I make 6 feathers in total, 3 larger ones and 3 smaller ones. I create mine using white, light brown and dark brown macrame cords so feel free to make them with any colours that you like. I've written down the measurements for all my feathers here as well as in the second lesson to make it easier for you.

You will need:

30cm wooden dowel or branch
large white feather: 1 x 55cm and 32 x 15cm
small white feather: 1 x 42cm and 16 x 12cm
large light brown feather: 1 x 50cm and 26 x 15cm
small light brown feather: 1 x 36cm and 16 x 12cm
large dark brown feather: 1 x 60cm and 36 x 15cm
small dark brown feather: 1 x 36cm and 14 x 15cm
1 x 60cm cord for the hanging cord
scissors
wire brush and or a comb
tape measure (optional if you want to measure how long you want it to hang)

Happy knotting!
